The service was great, to the point where the moment we finished our water bottle it was replaced within 30 seconds. Our waiter gave us some great recommendations, the pizza and pasta were delicious. Would definitely visit again!

Staying at nearby hotel, looking for Italian restaurant, chose Nardo based on reviews and it did not disappoint. Arrived around 5:45 and few guests dining but within 30 minutes the place was packed inside. Tried prickly pear margarita, arugula salad and a pizza. All were very good - loved the pizza as it was different from others. You do have to ask for bread as they don’t offer and it was good as well.

First of all, the pizza was phenomenal! Totally legit Neapolitana Pizza. I’ll go back just for pizza if that’s all they had. But, the in-house made pasta was amazing. The Lasagna was super flavorful and tasty. We’ll be back for sure and adventure further down the menu.

Unfortunately the food was not good. For starters the calamari was like eating rubber band and I had to spit it out, the potato croquettes were bland and cold. The ceases salad had no dressing on it and when I asked for some they said they already put it away. We had an 8:30 reservation but showed up at 8:15. The lasagna was mushy and the pizza dry. My daughter and her boyfriend had a bad experience when they tried this restaurant a while back. We were rushed and told to order dessert because the kitchen was closing. They brought it to the table before we got done eating. We felt so rushed to get out of there because the staff wanted to leave. Will never go back!
